Income Tax: The Income Tax Department has made many efforts in the last two years to simplify the process so that everyone can easily fill out the Income Tax Return (ITR Filing). Apart from this, a new portal has been created by the Income Tax Department for form correction and income tax return filing. Apart from all these amendments, the Income Tax Department has also unveiled a new system to pay taxes. In this, taxpayers can now pay their taxes using credit cards or UPI as well.
ITR Filing: Do you know that now tax can also be paid through UPI or credit card?
Any taxpayer can pay his taxes on the NSDL website using the facility provided by the Income Tax Department with the help of a debit card issued by an authorized bank and net banking from 16 banks.
If you’re in this situation and don’t have an account with one of these banks, paying your taxes can be difficult, but you don’t need to worry.
Pay through
As part of the new service provided by the Income Tax Department, apart from debit cards, tax payments can also be made through credit cards, online banking, pay-at-bank counters, UPI, RTGS, and NEFT.
